People & Power - Democracy Delta-style - 14 Apr 07 - Part 2

The 2007 National elections are approaching in Nigeria. People & Power reporter Juliana Ruhfus and director Hazel Chandler travel to the conflict ridden, oil rich Niger Delta to explore what is at stake. The history of the violent and rigged 2003 elections is creating a climate of fear and many people have little faith that 2007 will bring change and offer opportunities for the next generation.
